But ~laxatives OF ,aa. iiaseed oil,

salt may be beneficial, as also light
atureties-say one dram If nitrate Of
potash twice daily, Cathoiie acid al
the dose of about n dram two or
three times a day in water has been
recommended, Cold packing has also
been thought beneficial. Years ago
the action of setons (rowelsl was
said to be a good preventive, and just
now my attention is drawa to MS re-
cent application for a form OF
anthrax. Therefore it might he ben
eiieial to Try il, Tho good effects of
this treatment may be explained by
the fact that IN iafammatioas, aeei-
dental or artiieially produced, there
is a considerable increase OF the
cosgulasive properties Of the blood,
More feasin to exist.
To put u seton in place pull
the skin low at the dewlap
(breast) and make q hole through,
next to the fesh with a good pocket
knife. Then insert a strip of cotton
cloth into the hole. pull 1t through
and tie it in position by tying knots
at each end or tying the ends tegesh-
er. This tape should be long enough
to allow its being moved at will
which should be done occasionally.
Some blistering ointment or surpes-
tine may be rubbed on this seton Tor
roweil to produce a quicker iniam-
nation and more running of matter.
With this, the use of one. two, three
or four drains of chlerate of potash
according to age) in water two or
three times q day would be 3 rational
treatment This potash might well
be used of course even without the
seton. A chsnge of pasture and good
clean water are very desirable.

good practice to cut up the eareasses
and spread quick lime thoroughly
over them, If they eannet be buried
deep. which is q big job. Dogs and
birds should not be allowed to carry
pieces away. A solution of bi-chlo-
ride OF mercury-one part to 500, or
to 1000 of water, is a good prepare
ton to destroy the contagium thst
may exist in the dead subjects. 1t is
poisonous. The people, however,
need not fear the spread of the mala-
dy from Mr.. Downs place, for his
animals are kept at home. But there
may be some other sources of the
malady elsewhere. This / do not

DREAD DISEASE.
The Rush Hill Disease Thought to be
Texas Feyer-Cattie Still DYING

Correspondence of the Ledger.
RUSH HUI, July 8, 1S87.-There
is no doubt that the dreaded disease,
Texas fever, is raging in our neigh
borhood, although our State VeterIn-
arian made a thorough examination
and decided that it was not. The symp
toms + exactly like the Texas fever
and the facts go to show that it is
Texas fever. The facts are these:
On the 29th of March there were I'M
loaded here ten head of cattle ship
ped from Arkansas. They were taken
to the farm of j. p. Downs and
kept about a month. They were then
taken to Mr.. Collins pasture. About
the 18th of June Downs cattle com
meneed dying about a week after,
the stock in Collins pasture were at
tackled with the same disease. The
State Veterinarian. when here gave it
as his opinion that this disease was not
transmitted to these cattle by the
Southern cattle. 1t matters but lit
tie whether this is Texas fever or
something else. But it is a question
of great Importance whether the
disease was brought here by these
Kansas cattle or not; and we think
the State should make further inves-
sigation before adopting the theory
of the Veterinarian. If his opinion is
adopted it is encouraging the impor-
tation of these Southern cattle. We
think there is not q shadow of doubt
but this disease was imported to
these cattle by being brought in con-
tact with these Southern cattle. No
other cattle are affected except those
that have been on the same pasture
where those cattle have been. Up
to this time Mr.. Downs has lost
eleven head, Mr.. Collins three, and
many others are sick. Mr.. Collins
has q herd Of lao head. This matter
is getting severe and the law forbIds
him moving to other pastures.

AT II GAS WELL.
Significant sigas Pasted up al the Der
riek-The Casing all ratied al
Last,

For the fret time since work has
been III progress at the gas well, the
drill men Friday lost all patience
with the crowd which ID continually
in attendance, asking questions, lost-
ling, joltiag and getting constantly
in the way, aud the grand stand
was nailed nl. and all the seats COW
cred with heavy, rough boards, The
words "weleome visitors" were taken
down and other signs Of q less agree
able character were placed IN posi-
ton, most of which are calculated TO
impress a visitor with the fact that he
is not wanted. The reason for THIS
action on the part Of Welt and bis
men. as stated TO a LEpagR reporter
by one of them last night, is to s'shat
off a crowd OF leafers that commence
TO eangsegate there at dayhreak, and
never leave until midnight, and
which is composed of men who ask
questions and get in the way. For
this reason an effort will be made to
keep spectators away until after all
the casing is removed and drilling re,
sumed, after which the signs will
likely be taken down.
LArEa-rhe casing was finally
caught to-day, and brought safely
out. The derrick, rig aud tools are
oow being put in shape for work

Information About earn.

Carp can be kept in almost any kind Of
pond. 1t feeds principally OH vegetable
food, such as grains, Bread roots, or al
most any vegetable matter whatever that
may be given it, 1t does not devour its
own young, and for this reason increases
rapidly, but the presence of other fish that
have this propensity would be highly OBJ
jectionable in the same pond The carp
soon becomes quite tame, and limited
number may be kept in large wire box
when partly grown, but this could hardly
be made profitable. They have heretofore
been supplied from Washington, and in
inquiries addressed to the United States
fish commissioner the applicant should
give, in addition TO his own name and
postoffice address, the name of the rail
road and railroad station nearest his resi-
dence, the dimensions Of his pond and its
general character, and especially what
kinds Of fish, if any, the pond contains.
